Last night I finished making this ring sling. I wanted a sling that I can adjust because Ollie is getting too big for me to be able to nurse him in my pouch sling. Also, the tail of a ring sling makes for a handy nursing cover.

Until a few months ago I had two sewing machines -- my mom's and my grandma's. Neither were working right, and they were so heavy and bulky and just in the way, mostly collecting dust. They smelled musty, too. So I ditched them. Therefore I ended up sewing my sling all by hand. Took three evenings... about 8 - 10 hours from start to finish.

Ground turkey, homemade pesto, Hamakua tomatoes, mozzarella cheese on homemade honey wheat crust. Was pretty good. Ollie got scared and cried when I used the magic bullet thingie to make the pesto, so that wasn't so good. Poor li'l guy.

Ollie's 4 month checkup was this morning. He's 14 pounds 2 ounces (or is it 4? I forget already!) and has grown five inches since he was born. He's now a whopping 2'1". :)

He was such a happy boy at the doctor's office. We played tummy time, Little Bunny Foo Foo, and read Cat in the Hat. Then it was time for shots. Ollie was not happy anymore!

Actually, Ollie didn't scream and cry for too long. I had him snuggled on me in the sleepy wrap, and after a few minutes of pain, he fell asleep.

His doctor's office is at the mall, so we walked around a bit after the appointment. Mommy is tired of carrying a sleepy Ollie, so now we are just snuggling in the car, waiting for him to awaken before he goes into the car seat and we go home.

Rebacca babysat Ollie while I got my teeth cleaned this morning. Afterwards, we all went to Waioli Tea Room for lunch. This is our chocolate peanut butter cake that we had for dessert. So much for having clean teeth! :D
